Storytime!!!

Mrs Hosie reading Underground
to Canada at story time

Despite the fact that we're nearly 12, we still love to "chillax" and listen to a story with the class. Even better - you can choose from two stories to go listen to (in Room 12 it's Harry Potter, and in Room 13 it's Underground to Canada). If you don't feel like a story, you can go into the breakout space and read another book or draw. What could be a better way to spend twenty minutes after lunch?

While the stories are being read, the teachers ask questions for the students to answer about the story to get the students involved. Sometimes students have questions about the story which the teachers are happy to answer. There's always a competition to see who gets the beanbag, but sometimes the winners share with their friends. It's a great opportunity to share a story with your best buddies, regardless of which Year 7 classroom they come from.

I spoke to Room 13 student Shaelyn about story time:

"I don't really know which part I like best; I like everything about it." 

Wouldn't it be great if anyone could come in and listen to such cool stories?
